No thanks when it became clear that I might be stuck at Tactical I started working on one that works, just need to finish it up. Besides until we hear back from Joanne I might still end up as navigator. The way I see it even if I stay at Tactical the ship can't leave without a pilot so I guess it's just a question of how long we wait before opening the position up again or get a post from Joanne.

Well in STO there is only the Tactical class not a Security one as well, in canon though Security is still separate from Tactical and is part of Operations so it's still Gold...like the Pakled's it depends on which you go with :)

Quote from: Katataban

It is not apocrypha to be honest. The ST:O timeline was endorsed by universal as the official timeline after the Nemesis events. So yes I will be incorporating them with the small change that the Romulan civil war has not ended yet.And yes, that does mean the true way is active. The klingon's and the federation are no longer allies since the Khitomer liberation, but they aren't yet at the brink of war.

Also, the pak'leds did not join the federation, any more than the borg, ferengi or Klingons. all of which are playable as federation officers in STO. I've checked the list I'll put it up here soon. If someone really wanted to play a Pakled, give me a good reason in the bio, and i'll consider

Elven I think I can agree on that character.

Open positions at this point are tactical, engineering and science, with Mai wanting to play either science or engi, hope she'll give an answer soon.

Bio (Short Version):Kaylen was born on Tevron VII in 2368. Born into a Starfleet family it was no surprise that he continued the family tradition.

During his time at the Academy he quickly discovered he had a natural talent for flying and fell in love with it, choosing to become a pilot. Upon graduating from the Academy he was assigned to the U.S.S. Arkwright as a junior conn officer.

Kaylen is well aware of his talent as a pilot but does not always brag about it, although he is prone to odd flair of arrogance like most pilots. However his...confidence as a pilot has caused him to take several risks during his career, most of them getting him noticed by command for one reason or another resulting in him being deemed a risk taker.

The most significant proof of this occurred during his time aboard the Arkwright, a Galaxy Class starship. During a routine patrol during mission the Arkwright was ambushed by several cloaked Romulan Warbirds, with its weapons disabled in the opening attack the Arkwright's only choice was to flee. With few paths open to him the Captain decided to take the ship into a nearby asteroid field, however it was too far away to reach at impulse. In an attempt to save the ship, Kaylen attempted something that had never been done before...to enter the field at Warp.

Despite the risk the Captain allowed Shepard to attempt the dangerous manoeuvre and somehow the young pilot managed to pull it off (and is currently the only pilot known to do this) It should be noted that despite proud of the accomplishment Shepard has been quoted as saying "I wouldn't want to try it again." Due to his efforts Kaylen was promoted to Lieutenant Commander and made chief Conn officer of the Arkwright, where he served for three years until transferring to the newly commissioned U.S.S. Amsterdam.

You did in the other thread. My bad Mai, for answering without reading all the threads. So engineering it is. You're hired so your bio can go straight into the character bio thread. Your rank will be either Lieutenant or Lt jg.

Bio: Lieutenant Yemlemek has had a rocky career. He has been demoted to Ensign three times, once for being thrown in jail while on leave, once for reprogramming a Federation duty replicator to make alcoholic beverages (particularly, Romulan Ale), and once for "inappropriate fraternization" (that's what they call it when you're caught with the Admiral's daughter during the middle of an awards ceremony). Despite that, he keeps being promoted again, for the simple fact that he's a damn good Engineer. He's most recent promotion was when he effectively "jump-started" the USS Moskva's warp drive, mere seconds before it would have been annihilated by a Gorn attack.

okay. So if all goes well that should fill up our department heads. Thank you Hyena for answering the questions during my regenerative cycle.

I will not close this yet in case people are interested in minor roles, like captains yeoman or an assistant department head. I will try to get everyone started up ASAP. Please drop your bios in the bio thread and visit the OoC thread for further information.

And Top cat, yes Borg are out for now, as part of the story arc. But you can take your pick of Klingon, Nausicaan or Gorn on the outer border. Romulan raiders, Jem Haddar/Cardassians of the true way So I'm guessing that leaves choice enough.
